Unilateral Pulmonary Fibrosis Secondary to Unilateral Absence of the Pulmonary Artery With Concomitant Lung Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The finding of unilateral pulmonary fibrosis secondary to unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery is a rare condition. The association with lung cancer, both ipsilateral or contralateral, is ever rarer. Unilateral pulmonary fibrosis can be caused by proximal interruption of the pulmonary artery (congenital absence of pulmonary artery), among other causes. Diagnostic modalities for the diagnosis of unilateral absence of pulmonary artery include chest X-ray, computed tomography, echocardiogram, MRI, and aortogram, with contrasted CT chest being the gold standard. Clinical presentations are variable. Treatment includes the treatment of recurrent infections, hemoptysis, pulmonary hypertension, and possibly re-anastomosis. We present the case of a 69-year-old man with unilateral (left-sided) pulmonary fibrosis secondary to unilateral absence of the left pulmonary artery with concomitant lung cancer. This case highlights the association between unilateral pulmonary fibrosis caused by the absence of a unilateral pulmonary artery and the occurrence of lung cancer.
